Chapter 39 Chapter 39 The Little Fairy Who Fears Insects
Xu Yunfan hung up the towel and said nothing else, only saying to Qin An, "As long as you're not afraid, that's good. If you are, don't go."
"I know." Qin An put down the backpack and ran into the kitchen to get the porridge and stir-fried duck meat from the pot. He placed them on the table and called to Xu Yunfan, "Brother, it's time for breakfast."
The duck meat was left over from last night. Qin Run hung it in the well so it wouldn't turn sour even if left overnight.
When Xu Yunfan finished two bowls of porridge, Qin An had already chopped the pig grass. Seeing this, Xu Yunfan put down the bowl, picked up the pig food and went to feed his second brother.
Qin An didn't need to feed the pig, but he was not idle either. He collected the leftover food from Xu Yunfan on the table and hung it in the well.
Xu Yunfan had fed pigs a few times and had some experience. He put the bucket on the pig pen, took a wooden stick on the side and pulled it, then poured the pig feed into the gap left by the pigs, so that the feed would not fall on the pigs' heads and hit him in the face.
After feeding the pigs, Xu Yunfan asked Qin An to find two winnowing baskets, pour the wheat that had been soaked overnight into the winnowing baskets, and then spread it out.
He found two pieces of patched coarse cloth, soaked them in water, and used them to cover the wheat spread on the winnowing basket to ensure that the wheat was always in a moist environment.
When Xu Yunfan and Qin An arrived at the field, Aunt Qin's family, who were working in the field next door, had already harvested 10 bags of corn.
Qin Run had just collected two bags. Seeing this, Xu Yunfan called out to Aunt Qin, "Aunt Qin, you guys are collecting so quickly! We haven't collected eight bags yet. Please use my cart to push the corn back first!"
Pushing his cart once saves the effort of four people.
Uncle Qin heard this and said happily, "Can it be used?"
"Why not? There are more of you, so one person can push it, and the rest of you can continue to break the corn. When the cart comes back, I haven't collected enough corn yet, so you can push it again. This is the reasonable use of the cart." Xu Yunfan didn't think his cart was so valuable that he couldn't lend it to others.
The day before yesterday, Aunt Qin's family was separated from them by a cornfield, but he didn't see them. Now that he sees them, there's nothing wrong with lending them his cart.
Erdan and Sandan were beside Xu Yunfan. They looked up at him with admiration in their eyes. "Brother Xu is amazing. The cart he made is also amazing. It can hold so much corn in one go."
Xu Yunfan looked down at Erdan, who was not even as tall as his thigh, raised his eyebrows, and said shamelessly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Uncle Qin pushed the cart parked on the road to the edge of his own field, and Qin Er and several others carried the corn and put it on the cart.
Xu Yunfan ignored them, walked over to Qin Run and started breaking corn.
Qin Run was busy harvesting corn and didn't pay attention to Aunt Qin and the others. When Xu Yunfan spoke, he remembered that he was harvesting slowly on his own, so Aunt Qin could use the cart first.
After saying a few words to Dadan, Qin An walked into the cornfield, stood between Xu Yunfan and Qin Run, and began to pick corn skillfully.
Seeing this, Xu Yunfan rushed to Qin Run again. When he had broken half of the corn, Xu Yunfan felt a little itchy on his arm, as if something was crawling on his skin.
When he turned his head to break the corn beside him, he saw a wriggling black strip outside the clothes on his arm out of the corner of his eye.
Xu Yunfan suddenly felt as if his heart stopped for a few seconds, so much so that his vision became a little blurry.
When he calmed down and looked, he found that a few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead, not knowing whether it was because of fear or the heat.
Then, Xu Yunfan's face turned pale, he swung his hand violently, and then let out a scream that shook the sky.
"Ah~~" Xu Yunfan was so scared that he almost burst into tears. He subconsciously shouted, "Dad~" Thinking that his father was not here, Xu Yunfan changed his words and shouted, "Qin Run, help~"
When Xu Yunfan screamed, Qin Run had already come to his side and asked in panic, "What's wrong?"
"There's a bug, Qin Run, get it off, quickly!" Xu Yunfan got goosebumps all over his body and his hair stood on end. When he saw the caterpillar with long hairs crawling up his arm, he almost gasped and fainted.
Xu Yunfan is most afraid of insects. He is scared to death of them whether they have hair or not.
Qin Run: “…”
When Qin Run heard Xu Yunfan's scream, he didn't know what had happened. He thought he had been bitten by a poisonous snake or something, and was so scared that he almost fainted. But...
Qin Run was frightened by Xu Yunfan's sudden scream, not to mention Qin An, and even Aunt Qin's family ran over, anxiously asking, "What happened? What happened to Xu?"
When they saw Xu Yunfan was scared to death, his handsome face turned pale, and he almost cried and asked Qin Run to remove the caterpillar that he couldn't get rid of on his arm, they were all stunned and dumbfounded.
This young master is so ignorant. It's just a caterpillar, but he looks so scared. With his courage, if there was another one, he would probably roll his eyes and fall into the cornfield on the spot.
Thinking this way, Aunt Qin and her family were all at a loss whether to laugh or cry. They had never seen anyone who was afraid of insects.
Qin Er's wife stepped forward to comfort the pale-faced Xu Yunfan, "Don't be afraid, Xu boy. That thing doesn't bite. It's just an itch at most. Don't be afraid."
Xu Yunfan couldn't hear anything at this moment. He was so frightened that his legs felt a little weak.
Qin Run was so heartbroken that he wanted to laugh but couldn't because of the heartache. He felt very conflicted.
He said, "Don't be afraid. I've crushed it to death. Do you want me to help you get to the road to rest?"
Xu Yunfan nodded. He felt that he needed a good rest to soothe his wounded heart.
Seeing Xu Yunfan so scared, Dadan and Qin An's faces turned pale, and the two little guys were very worried.
Erdan came up to Dadan and said, "Brother, Brother Xu is so scared, go pick some pears to calm him down!"
Qin An: "Is this...will this work?"
Erdan patted his chest with confidence and said, "It works. When Sandan was scared and crying, his uncle would comfort him with delicious food, and he would no longer be afraid. He would even enjoy the food."
Dadan and Qin An thought about it and it seemed to be true, so they didn't even harvest the corn. In order to comfort their Brother Xu, Dadan took his own small sack and ran away quietly with Qin An.
Qin Run was so distressed that he took a sack and put it under Xu Yunfan's buttocks. He also brought a bamboo tube for him to drink water and cleared the weeds around him. "Yunfan, don't be afraid. I have cleared all the grass. There will be no bugs. Don't be afraid."
Xu Yunfan was feeling a little depressed at this moment, as if his face had been thrown into the Pacific Ocean on his side.
He had just come to his senses when he realized how Qin Er and the others were trying to hold back their laughter. He remembered thinking about it and felt ashamed.
Xu Yunfan lowered his head, almost burying it between his knees.
Qin Run thought he was still afraid, so he patted his back gently and said, "Don't be afraid, Yunfan. I've crushed the bug to death. It won't bite you. Don't be afraid."
When Xu Yunfan heard Qin Run's anxious and clumsy voice of comfort, he turned his head and buried his face in Qin Run's chest, and put his arms around Qin Run's waist to hold him in place.
His voice was muffled, like a child with an adult's support. Confident, he began to tell tales, "Qin Run, Second Brother Qin and the others are laughing at me. I'm so embarrassed."
Qin Run: “…”
To be honest, he wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare.
He was afraid that if he laughed, Xu Yunfan, who was very concerned about his reputation, would cry.
"It's okay. They don't understand how powerful you are. Everyone has something they're afraid of. Like you, you're afraid of insects. Some people are even afraid of ghosts. They're scared of ghosts even though they've never seen one. They're even more timid than you. You're not shameful, but they are much more shameful."
Xu Yunfan: “…”
Sure enough, Qin Run knew how to comfort people, and he happened to have both of the things he mentioned.
Isn't he afraid of insects and ghosts?
Xu Yunfan buried his head in Qin Run's chest, and soon he felt suffocated and couldn't breathe. Unable to bear it, he raised his head and leaned it on Qin Run's shoulder. He pinched the flesh on Qin Run's waist with one hand and said maliciously, "Can you speak?"
Qin Run took a deep breath and straightened his back subconsciously.
His reaction made Xu Yunfan smile.
Qin Run didn't understand. He was comforting Xu Yunfan, so why did Xu Yunfan pinch him?
When he turned to look at Xu Yunfan, he couldn't say what he wanted to say, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Xu Yunfan was almost obsessive.
Xu Yunfan leaned his head on his shoulder, with the corners of his mouth raised, his eyebrows curved, and a smile on his face. The corners of his eyes were slightly red, and his narrow eyes seemed like vast stars. One glance would make people unable to look away. He seemed to have been immersed in this sea of stars.
Especially when Xu Yunfan looked at him with a smile like that, Qin Run really wanted to pounce on him and kill him on the spot.
Qin Run couldn't understand how there could be someone as handsome as Xu Yunfan in the world?
Did God really send him a little fairy boy instead of a little vixen?
It is no exaggeration to say that he really couldn't find any fault with Xu Yunfan's facial features.
"Are you impressed by my handsomeness?" Xu Yunfan looked at Qin Run, who looked stunned. He exhaled and blew a breath on Qin Run's neck. "I'm not afraid anymore. You can go pick the corn. I'll go after I recover, okay?"
"No, you don't have to go. Just wait for me here. I can do it alone." Qin Run's face turned red and his heart beat faster.
Aunt Qin, who was not far away, saw them cuddling together and couldn't help laughing, "Young people are really different. They don't know how to be shy. They hold the baby in their arms right away. If there's no one... It seems that the Qin family will have a new baby next year."
Qin San glanced at his mother, "Mom, you are really something. I am tired of you, and you are just...looking at me?"
Aunt Qin understood what these words meant. Qin San was saying that she was old and shameless. She looked at others hugging each other. The key point was that it was not enough for her to just look, but she also said those words. She was shameless.
Aunt Qin was like chasing a dog, "Go away, go away, go away, if you can't talk, just say less. I really don't know what eye Feng Ge'er was blinded by to fall in love with you in the first place."
